PRINTERS AND PRESS.

The New York Typographical Union
has passed resolutions on the subject of
boycotting newspapers, in which it de-
elares with gravity that it "deprecates
any attempt to muzzle the press" And
the Union added that any or all papers
have right to express their honest opin-
ions on all matters concerning the public
welfare. For this expression in It's favor
we presume the press should be duly
thankful; yet the Union has not enun-
ciated any new truth, and it is doubtful if
it should be accorded credit for simply de-
elaring that il is in favor OF that which
the Constitution and laws guarantee.
Men are always TO be applauded for resist
ing evil influences, however, and to that
extent let the Union have praise, if
any influence has been brought to bear
upon it to involve it in attempts to muzzle
the press. When it declares that the
press IS free, it simply says that it is aware
of the law of the land; but the Unions
declaration, since it represents to certain
extent labor influences, is valuable as a
rebuke to such of the workingmen's organ
izations as have been led into the folly of
to gag the press Of the country.
Such efforts haze not been numerous or
largely representative, but that they ex-
cite body of hard-Working and intelli-
gent men to protest, is something. Viewed
IS protest, then, the resolutions have

THE AFGHAN BORDER.

1t is probable that the rumor of Rus
sia's anxiety and preparation to advance
the Turkestan border southwark upon
Afghan territory is true. The scheme
which was on foot something over year
ago, to seize a north section of the Ameer's
domain, was simply checked, not killed,
by Englands promptness. That Russia
means to possess herself of the Khoja
Saleh district is beyond doubt, and that
England will be bound to resist the ar
tempt with arms is equally certain. The
Boundary Commission, at its last session,
in July, was practically dissolved, agree
ing to disagree, since it was evident that
the Russian representative would not
make any concessions whatever in order
to fix the line permanently, Khoja Saleh,
the village which is the immediate subject
of dispute, lies upon the Oxus, just north
Of the thirty-seventh parallel of latitude.
The boundary line runs thence westward,
with southerly declension, until it crosses
the Murghab at Ak Tepeh, just north of
the thirty-sixth parallel (Merv being 100
miles northerly, on the same river, and
reaches the East Persian line at its inter-
section with the thirty-sixth degree of
latitude. The question now is whether
this line shall be recognized or the bound
airy forced southwark so as to put the
Khoja Saleh district north of it, and thus
give it over to the possession of Russia. 1t
is a very small strip of country, but the
prestige of its possession will mean much
to Russia in her determination to pene-
trate Afghanistan to Herat In 1879 the
Gar sent out an expedition ostensibly to
punish the Tekke-Turcomans, but in fact
TO take Merv, from which base he could
menace Herat. But not until 1880 did he
succeed, by the skill of Skobeliff Then
followed the building of the Russian rail
way from the Caspian towards Merv, the
Boundary Commission, the trouble about
the triangular bit of territory between the
0xus and Murghab. the advance of Cos
sack forces upon the Afghan border, the
alarm of England and her hurried dis
patch of troops from India toward Kanda-
har, and the pushing of the railway north
to that point, in support of the Ameer,
the renewal of the Boundary Commission
work and quietude until the present time,
when Russia makes claim for further adj
vance of the Afghan border southwark.
The situation is a serious one, and it need
create no surprise if it develops into a
belligerency that may bring on war upon
the Ameers soil.

INTERESTING To Immigrants. &C. H.
Street, Secretary of the State immigration
Association, returned on Saturday from a
visit to Shasta and Tehama counties. He
reports that he travelled through the south
west portion of Shasta and the northwest
portion of Tehama, and examined large
amount of land suitable for settlement.
He found it rolling hill land, well timbered,
good soil, rain abundant, and adapted to
general farming, fruit, grain or stock. The
new settlers who have been sent there by
the Association during the last three years
were found to be doing well and to be en-
tirely satisfied with their location There
are some 5000 of these settlers in ALL They
are putting out a good many fruit trees.
There were not few orange trees here and
there, and all appeared to do well. AT
Iago, Mr.. Street saw two orange trees IA
years old, which bore last year about 1,00o
oranges each. The fruit trees are now
loaded with blossoms. There is no snow
and no frost of any account The rainfall
is never less than 20 inches for the season,
and the average rainfall is more than sc
inches.-S Z. Chronicle.

WILD PIGEONS IN THE FooTHnLs.-The
sportsmen of Grass Valley, instead OF
shooting at tame pigeons from traps, con-
gregate under the wild pigeon roosts near
town, and blaze away as the birds return
from the feeding grounds to their nocturnal
quarters. Several matches that have taken
place recently afforded the shooters much
sport. Teams of six men to side are
chosen, and each team selects certain line
of flying birds. The shooting at incoming
pigeons is generally kept up tor an hour or
So until darkness sets in. On the return
home the birds are counted, and the side or
team scoring the most kills wins the honor
of the day and supper. The sportsmen
of the mountain town say that wild pigeon
shooting discounts trap shooting. The
birds are harder to kill, and, as they come
in to roost with rapid flight, they afford
the shooters many critical shots, and gen.
orally the misses outnumber the kills.
Wagner and Stone are ranked as the lead
ing pigeon-shots of Grass Valley.
